ANOTHER DISASTER.
The Schooner Havana Goes DOwn-Swal-
lowed Up In the Breakers.

The Schooner Havana Goes DOwn-Swal-
lowed Up In the Breakers.
CHICAGO, October A st. Joseph,
Mich, special says: The schooner Havana,
owned by Capt. A. p. Read, of Kenosha,
was sighted off this port yesterday morn
ing, flying signals of distress. The vessel
was in a sinking condition, and the crew
were unable to keep her hold clear of
water. Cape. John Curran concluded to
beach her, il possible, and headed for the
shore. The vessel went down. There
were several men aboard. Capt. Curran,
Steward John Morris and sailor named
Joseph Clint climbed into the main rig
ging, and the others into the fore rigging
As the vessel gave heavy lurCh the main
mast crashed overheard, carrying the three
men into the breakers. They struck out
for shore, and when last seen were breast
ing the waves. As nothing has been seen
OF them since thsy are probably drowned.
The remaining four men chung to. the cross
trees for nearly three hours, when tug
came to their rescue.
1t took nearly three quarters OF an hour
to get the men from their perilOus position.
The names of the rescued men are Samuel
McClimmon, mate, Chas. Hagan, Robert
Mccormick and George Hughes. The mate
had his arm broken before the vessel sunk
but he clung to the mast with the grit ofa
hero.
The captain and crew of the tug deserve
much praise Tor the rescue as there was a
terrible sea running, and the little tug was
tossed about so that those who watched her
from shore thought she would surely
founder. The Havana had about 900 tons
of ore. She lies about six miles north of
this port in ten to twelve fathOms.

Perpetrated by "A British Syndicate-Irlsh
Eviction Scenes In America.
New YORK, October A Washington
special saws the General Land Office is in
receipt of information that British syndi-
cate, which is said to have purchased a
large tract of land in Iowa from the Nc
GregOr. Western Railroad Company, is
mercilessly evicting settlers, the title of
the land being in dispute in the State
Courts. A settler writes:
Women over sixty years, sick in bed,
have been taken by six men and carried
out into the driving storm. Delicate wO-
men have had their hands tied with cords
till their flesh was bruised and then
dragged shrieking from their homes Chill
dren have been born prematurely at sight
of the band of evictors. Strong men have
been run down by ruffians on horseback
and then handcuifed and dragged from
their little possessions. / might go and
multiply instances where the sheriff Off
GERS with a writ Of eiectment in one hand
and a British contract in the other gave
those poor people their choice between
those two evils, which they would take.
Affidavits of the Cruelties practiced
are being collected, says this writer, for
use at Washington next winter, and will
be read in both houses of Congress.

ment Of the Territory's Resources.
WASHINGTON, October 4.-Thomas
Moonlight, the Governor Of Wyoming Ter
ritory, in his ANIMAL report TO the Secretary
of the Interior of the condition of affairs in
that Territory, says it is adapted for farm
ing purposes as we'll as for stock raising,
and the advantages Of combining the two
are we'll recognized. The Governor esti-
mates that the population now numbers
s., 600. Owing TO the fact that the rail-
road lands are assessed this year for the
first tine, the taxable valuables Of the
present year exceed those Of last year over
a millioa of dollars. For the ten months
beginning in September Of last year, and
ending June 30, 1887, there were 303, ls5
acres Of public land sold. In speaking Of
the cattle business, the Governor notes its
decadence as compared with former years,
aud said that the hard winters and scarcity
of food is bringing about the result Of con-
fning the cattle more to one locality,
where they can be sheltered and fed dur
ing the winter.

and put out the fires. She then swung
around in the trough Of the sea and began
breaking up. The Captain or tered the

lower but one. The Captain went into
the cabin to get the passengers out, but
when he returned found the first mate
and several men had left with the boat.

up, and soon all hands were struggling in
the water. The captain and engineer sue
ceeded in getting boat loose from the
wreck, and picked up the second eDgi-

Mrs. Hendricks.
NEW YORK, October 4.-The WOrldS
Indianapolis correspondent telegraphs that
he had conversation last night with Mrs.
Hendricks regarding the recent call upon
her of President and Mrs. Cleveland. She
said that she had better opportunity to
estimate him in a general way during his
call than ever before, and that it was alto
gether favorable.
Mrs Hendricks did not enter into the
details of the conversation except to one
particular, and that was in reference to
what had passed into the gossip Of the day
as ''the Foraker Snub." The President
disclaimed any intention upon the part of
Mrs. Cleveland to manifest and discourtesy
towards Governor Foraker and his wife.
He declared the entire affair as sent over
the wire was distorted, exaggerated and
aud largely the product of imagination;
that the failure to shake hands with the
Governor and his wife was not intentional
and frequently happened in a large, crush
ing reception such as that was.
Mr. Cleveland did not attempt to add
anything to her husbands explanation.

HoNoRABLY DISCHARGED.
An Interesting Case Heard Before Justice
Davis, Last Evening.

Davis, Last Evening.
Miss Mcconnell, teacher in the Fourth
ward public school division c, grade 9, was
before Justice Davis last evening on war
rant charging her with assaulting twelve
year old boy named James Lashley, q pupil
in her room. The boy testified that he had
been called mp with his class to recite, and
that he had stepped of of the line upon
which the pupils stand while reciting. His
teacher told him to step up to the mark.
He replied that he was up, when she called
him up and whipped him. The boys
mother was present, together with Super
intendent Anderson, Principal Hammond,
of the school, DR.. 8. L. Jepson, and
several other members of the Board
Of Education. In the presence Of
these, the boys clothing was removed
enough to show the marks of number Of
blows upon his bare limbs, there being
two or three black and blue welts upon
his left thigh and q similar mark upon
the calf of his right leg. r. Edgar Hall
appeared as counsel for Miss Mcconnell,
and conducted the examination on the
part of the defendant. For the prosecu-
tion q number of twelye-year old boys
were sworn. each of whom related a story
substantially the same as that by the
Lashley boy.
Miss Mcconnell was sworn on her own
behalf She testified to the facts connect
ed with the punishment OF the hoy, and
in addition said that the boy had attempt
ed to strike her, and had snatched the
strap she was welding ont of her hand
two or three tines. She had great deal
of trouble with the boy ever since he had
been in her room. He was sort Of a
leader in mischief. This she corroborated
by the evidence Of Principal Hammond,
son and English, teachers. She
also had q number of her
pupils sworn, who corroborated her
version of the episode in the school room,
and bore out the statements she had made.
Finally DIR. Jepson was sworn and asked
to give his opinion AS TO the severity OF the
punishment necessary to produce black
and blue marks upon the person OF boy,
and he concluded that the punishment
was not unnecessarily severe in its nature.
The Justice, having heard the arguments
of counsel, and deliberated over the testi-
mony, came 10 the conclusion that there
was nothing in the case warranting the
punishment of the teacher, and said she
was honorably discharged Miss McCon'
nell received the congratulations of Super.
intendent Anderson and the members OF
the Board and teachers present, and all
parties retired.

fixed for the purchase of bonds, for the

in that Secretary FairchilG may decide to

obtained. Todays offerings aggregated
